Dhaka: At least 29 bodies of the members of Sheikh Hasina Wajid’s political party, the Awami League, have been found from different places, the local media reported on Wednesday.
Among the more than 29 bodies are leaders of the Awami League and their family members.
The bodies were found after Sheikh Hasina Wajid left the country.
On the other hand, the Bangladeshi newspaper claimed that the homes and business centers of the people associated with the Awami League were also vandalized and looted.
It may be mentioned here that the protests lasted for several days against the 30% quota for the children of those who fought in the 1971 war to get government jobs.
In the protests, 200 people were killed, after which the Supreme Court abolished the quota system. However, the students vowed to continue protesting and called for civil disobedience until their fellow protesters received justice.
300 Deaths in Violent Protests
After the announcement of the civil disobedience movement by students opposing the quota system, the total number of deaths in violent protests exceeded 300.
